We host exploratory visits for business owners and both anglophone and francophone immigrants who are planning on moving to New Brunswick. Contact us before you arrive in the province so we can help plan your visit and refer you to the right people and organizations.

The Saint John Newcomers Centre is the first step for all exploratory visitors to the Greater Saint John area. Let us know about your arrival in advance, so we can create a schedule that will help you make the most of your visit and time. We will align meetings with City Council, Economic Development Greater Saint John, the Mentoring Program for Immigrant Entrepreneurs, and other relevant organizations specific to you for a complete overview of the life and business activities in Saint John.
